Library Import

Proteus supports importing library parts from various sources including an integrated web search, third party vendors, and manual import. It allows importing both schematic parts and their associated PCB footprints along with pin mappings. For many parts, a 3D model is also imported for use in simulation and export to MCAD tools. Users can also request or manually create new parts as needed.

The solution in the Proteus Design
Suite is twofold. First, we provide
an integrated web search directly
in the library picker dialogue. This
provides free access to millions of
parts and a double click will import
the schematic component and
footprint directly into the project.

Where a part has not yet been


created you can request it be made
for you. This is a free service offered
by our partner with an average
turnaround of 24-48 hours per part.

Secondly, we provide an import


dialogue form that can import
parts from third party vendors
such as Ultra-Librarian, SnapEDA
and PCB Library expert. During
this manual import process large
unwieldly schematic bodies can
be split into smaller elements and
the pins then re-arranged around
the various component bodies.
